So we've spent a lot of time talking about the GOAT, but I got me thinking about who were the biggest NBA busts or disappointments that you remember?
The guy that comes to mind for me is Sebastian Telfair. I thought he was going to be a killer when he was in high school.

LeBron.

You really don’t see many basketball busts. That would be surprising to see.
Usually it’s a full body sculpture.

Greg Oden?
(I am not giving up on this thread yet, has to be better than politics and pandemic talk!)

I thought Sebastian Telfair was going to be the next Iverson.
I thought Greg Oden was going to be the next Shaq.

If we just talk former Jayhawks then Ben Mclemore is by far my pick.
Yes, I thought Wiggins would be better than he has been...but its not like he's been bad by any means.
Ben I thought was for sure to become an elite NBA player and he's not even an elite role player.

I am too young...and I'm not talking just about high picks who busted. I mean guys you personally thought would be great players who ended up being busts or not doing very well.

Re: Biggest surprise "busts"
When I think of someone getting the yips I usually think of golf, but he found a way to do it in basketball....although I do think he's slowly turning himself around. I dont think he will ever been what some people thought he would become, but hopefully (for him) he can become a good role player and have a long career.
